Guest glenjohnson Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I cant find any numbers except the ones next to the tranny bell housing on the block. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kaycee Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Is this a 455 Buick? If so, the engine number will be stamped between the two front spark plugs and the exhaust manifold on the left side, and the production code number between the two rear plugs and the exhaust manifold also on the left side. If a Pontiac,the number will be stamped on the block in front of the right bank of cylinders with a production number stamped below the engine serial number. If Olds, on the right cyl.head to block deck face.( on F-85 and Cutlass: tape attached directly to the front of oil fill tube. This info came from a 1973 Chiltons Manual.

joe_padavano Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Let's start at the beginning. WHAT model of 455 is this - Buick, Olds, or Pontiac? Once we know that, we can help with the next level of detail. If Olds, on the right cyl.head to block deck face.( on F-85 and Cutlass: tape attached directly to the front of oil fill tube. This info came from a 1973 Chiltons Manual. 'Hope I helped. kayceeNot entirely correct on the Olds motors. ALL 1968-76 Olds motors used the tape on the oil fill tube and I've not yet seen an original one that survived. On the other hand, every Cutlass/442 has a shiny new repro on it. The VIN derivative stamp on the block will tell you the year and manufacturing plant, but not much else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kaycee Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 As Joe said, let us know the year, model and make ( Buick, Olds, or Pontiac) so we have something to go by. kaycee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
